Pulitzer Prize Winner Defeats Pickpocket

Charlie LeDuff comes to the rescue of a Detroit restaurant owner he knows well.

Great lede from Fox 2’s Charlie Langton:

American Coney is a Detroit institution. So is Charlie LeDuff.

And thanks to the actions of Langton’s fellow WJBK-TV reporter, the owner of American Coney Island in downtown Detroit still has her Smartphone. From Langton’s report:

“I had my cell phone in my back pocket,” Grace Keros said. “He [the perpetrator] came right up to me, leaned in, it happened so quick. He pulled the cell phone out and I was like, ‘He took my cell phone!'”

Grace said it happened Monday in broad daylight, in front of the American Coney Island.
